One, I have several and love them!

A:
They are all one piece . Nearly all high quality Bass rods are one piece to allow for a much more sensitive rod . There are a few two piece bass rods of some quality but not many . If they are two pieces then it will say so on the spec. of the particular rod . St. Croix offers probably more highend 2 piece rods than anyone else . Still even their offerings are limited . Really one piece is the way to go all the way . For sure much more sensitive and stronger . Good luck and tight lines .Answers

A:
Most Extreme Rods are one piece, but some have a retractable butt section so if you are looking at rods over 7 ft, look to see if it says retractable butt.Images for this Answer

I was wondering if this rod would work well with a shimano curado 200e7, or if another rod would suit it better. I have noticed quantum smoke has a specialty rod for that particular reelAnswers
Top 25 Contributor
A:
As long as you pick the right length of rod, that would be a good combo. I like longer rods, and I buy the longest one piece rods possible. Get the rod that is best for you.Images for this Answer

That would be a nice combo

Yes it will work well...also any ABU V rfods....Answers
A:
It's not that small, just the back of my hand hits the blank and I have big hands. I actually like this a lot becasue it allows you to feel even the smallest bites! The one I ordered arrived with a broken trigger and I needed it for the weekend. They sent me a new one the next day and I sent them the broken one back that same day with no extra fees. Been loving it and catching plenty of fish ever since!

The handle on the 7'4" BPS Extreme is around 15" long and is pretty comfortable to use if you fish all day.Images for this Answer

I have a Bass Pro Shops Tourney Special rod. It is a 6' medium power rod. I use 12 pound flourocarbon line and like it as it has landed bass, drum and the occasional cat. I would like to upgrade to this rod and was wondering if going to a 6' medium light rod would be to light for bass fishing.
Answers
A:
It would work well for bass ranging from 1-4 lbs. 6'6" MH is a great all around rod.
Top 25 Contributor
A:
If you are going to use a medium light for bass, you need to go longer than 6'. Use a 7' ML and you will be able to cast further and set the hook better, plus the 7' rod would have enough power for bass especially finesse fishing like drop shot.Images for this Answer

A:
Once you upgrade to this rod you will never go back to your old rod. i own a Tourney Special and it has sat in the basement for the last 7 seasons.A:
While a 6' medium light rod would not necessarily be too light, I do not believe it would be of any advantage to you, especially if you like using the 12 lb line. It would be more difficult to set the hook on bass because of the limberness of a medium light. I reserve my medium light rods for the occasions where I must use light lines such as 6 lb, for fear of breaking off too often. Light lines tend to attract more strikes in clear water conditions, however require smaller hooks and more limber rods.A:
I would not recommend using a medium light for bass. If the medium action is working for you I would stay with that action.A:
I have a Med, Light Extreme and it is a great rod, I use mine for top water a lot or when I really need to get a lure way out there as setting the hook with this weight can be a little more difficult with a Texas Rig for example.A:
I like medium heavy. On a long cast or deep water it will allow you a good hook set.The BPS Bionic rod is hard to beat. I have several.
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
go to a longer rod 6'6 or 7'
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
a med is good, but pending on size fish, a med/heavy is better if you need a stronger hook set.
Top 100 Contributor
A:
Depending on the technique that you want to use to catch bass I would recommend that you stick with the medium action. You can fish spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, crankbaits, worms, jigs...pretty much a universal action, except flipping and carolina rigs.
Top 25 Contributor
A:
If you're using light line sure. It really depends on what you're doing. A 6'6" medium should do you for most of your fishing though. MLs would be more for finesse applications like drop shotting or cranking, but usually people use spinning gear for dropshotting.Details:
could this rod hold a pike about 60-95 cm? or more than 8kgAnswers
A:
Yes it can if the rod power is MH or H
Top 25 Contributor
A:
These rods can definitely hold pike of that size and weight. They can hold pike that are longer and heavier if you get the right rod. Get at least a 7' medium-heavy or heavy action, and longer is better. I have caught a lot of pike that size on the 7' medium action Extreme but a 10kg 110cm pike did damage to a rod guide during the fight. I have also used a 7' medium heavy Extreme rod that works well on big fish. My favorite Extreme rod is a 7'10" heavy action rod that handles lures up to 3 oz and it will handle any pike that hits.Images for this Answer

I've caught hundreds of pike with this rod.A:
yes
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
yep, caught them by accident, a 7'6 will really fit
Top 25 Contributor
A:
It depends on the action and length of the rod you're talking about. The exreme M or MH 7-7'6" will work wonderfully. I have a 7'6" M and use it for trolling.A:
Yes...probably the Medium Heavy 6'6" or longer. They handle the 1 meter snook I catch and a pike is no different. The tape measure in the picture is 36" long, and that makes this fish about 41 " long...and mean.Images for this Answer

i visit holland alot and fish for pike a whole lot anywreight i usually use spinning reels but i want to buy a trigger rod and a baitcasting reel to fish with could this rod handle about a 85 cm pike or maybe even a meter pike?Answers
A:
Yes but I would use MH or H rodA:
Yes any of the hevy rod could no problem.A:
yes dude this rod has amazing backbone, amzing i pulled in huge trout while fishing for bass, and it still gives you enough bend to have fun with the fish
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
a 7'6 in med heavy and braided line50+ with a flor leader 60+. I was in Holland for a year. Spain is great fishing for pike and muskies.
Top 25 Contributor
A:
You'd need a MH 7 or 7'6". You can usually go by the rating of the line. If it can handle 20lb line, it can handle a 30lb Pike.A:

i'm looking for one rod to handle most if not all of the rigs( spinnerbait, crank, t-rig, jig, topwater, etc.)Answers
Top 25 Contributor
A:
I would use a 7' medium-heavy for most of what you will throw, but crankbaits & topwater should be used on a 7' medium rod.Images for this Answer
(click to see full-size image)
A:
I wouldn't, different lures work better with different actions and lengths, some much better than others. It's like trying to hunt squirrel, deer, dove, and turkey with the same gun. It can be done, but done better with different options.A:
You would be hard pressed to find a better multi-purpose rod than the Extreme. The only problem you will discover is that not all the rigs you mention will work well with the same action rod. You might very well could get by with 2 rods of different actions but I don't think I would try to get by with only one.A:
Try the bass pro shops Extreme rod, its marked at 99.99 but you can get it for 69.99 at the store tell them you want internet price
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
Med/heavy will do it allA:
I have used this rod for a variety of bass lures including spinnerbaits, crank baits, buzzbaits, top water frogs, and poppers and various weights.
A:
No not really....no rod will do everything well. A jig rod and a spinnerbait rod are just about as opposite as you can get. The best you could hope for is kinda OK . If you fish jigs with your spinnerbait rod you will break it on hooksets. If you fish spinnerbaits with a jig rod you will pull the hooks or break line when it get hit and you react. Sorry, but NO WAY
